• Partner with hiring managers on intake, sourcing strategy, interview design, and offer structuring
• Build and manage HR programs including onboarding, performance cycles, and employee experience initiatives
• Support headcount planning alongside leadership — tracking open roles, forecasting needs, and keeping hiring aligned with business priorities

• 4‑7 years in HR, recruiting, or a blended people ops role — ideally in a scaling tech or hardware company
• Comfortable owning the full recruiting lifecycle without heavy process infrastructure
• Strong communicator — you’ll work closely with hiring managers and candidates, and the quality of those relationships matters
• Experience supporting a global or multi‑site workforce is a bonus
